Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a grommet inner that constitutes a grommet that protects, for example, an electric wire that is inserted into a panel, and to a grommet having the grommet inner attached thereto. [Background technology]

[0002] The electrical equipment installed in the vehicle body and the electrical equipment installed inside the doors that are attached to the vehicle body so as to be freely opened and closed are separated by door panels and body panels (hereinafter referred to as "panels") and are electrically connected via electric wires inserted into insertion holes provided in each panel.

[0003] This electric wire is prevented from interfering with the periphery of the insertion hole and being damaged by being inserted into a cylindrical grommet such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1. In detail, the grommet disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a flexible resin mounting part that is attached to the panel, and a grommet inner that is attached to the mounting part and inserted into an insertion hole provided in the panel.

[0004] Then, with the electric wire fixed to the electric wire fixing portion extending forward in the insertion direction from the mounting portion using tape or the like, the electric wire fixing portion is inserted into the insertion hole, and the panel is sandwiched between the mounting portion and the grommet inner, so that the electric wire can be inserted into the insertion hole without interfering with and damaging the peripheral edge of the insertion hole.

[0005] Incidentally, the grommet inner disclosed in Patent Document 1 is composed of a separable separation body of approximately the same shape, and has an engaging protrusion on one end surface of the separation body and an engaging recess into which the engaging protrusion can be fitted on the other end surface. This allows the grommet inner to be attached to a desired position of the electric wire. However, in the grommet inner that fits the separation body as in Patent Document 1, even if the engaging protrusion and the engaging recess are fitted on one and the other sides of the separation body, there are cases where the separation bodies are misaligned with each other.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-180019 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a grommet inner capable of preventing displacement of a separator, and a grommet equipped with the grommet inner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention provides a grommet that protects an electric wire passing through a through hole provided in a panel, the grommet being configured together with a cylindrical grommet body, the grommet being configured with a cylindrical inner body that is inserted into the through hole and through which the electric wire passes inside, and a flange portion that is disposed on one end side of the inner body and extends radially outward, the grommet inner being attached to an end of the grommet body and fixed to the through hole, the grommet inner being configured with separators that are separated in the circumferential direction, and including a locking and fixing portion that locks and fixes the adjacent separators, a mating protrusion that is provided on one of the separators adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction and protrudes toward the other separator, and a concave mating recess that is provided on the other separator and into which the mating protrusion is fitted, the separation body is integrally formed of an inner separation portion constituting the inner main body and a flange separation portion constituting the flange portion, the locking and fixing portion is composed of a locking and fixing piece provided on one side of the adjacent inner separation portion and a locked portion provided on the other side of the adjacent inner separation portion to which the locking and fixing piece is locked, the fitting convex portion comprises an inner convex portion protruding from one circumferential end side of the inner separation portion toward the adjacent inner separation portion, the fitting recess comprises an inner recess provided on the other end side of the adjacent inner separation portion, the direction in which the electric wire is inserted is the insertion direction, the locking and fixing piece is formed in a flat plate shape protruding from one circumferential end side of the inner separation portion toward the adjacent inner separation portion, the locked portion is composed of an inserted portion into which the locking and fixing piece is inserted, and the inner convex portion has a length in the insertion direction shorter than that of the locking and fixing piece, The present invention is characterized in that the engagement between the mating convex portion and the mating concave portion prevents the separated bodies, which are locked and fixed, from shifting from one another.

[0009] The present invention also provides a grommet comprising the above-mentioned grommet inner and a cylindrical grommet body through which an electric wire is inserted, the grommet inner being attached to an end of the grommet body.

[0010] The inner separator may be separated into two or more pieces. The locations where the fitting protrusions and the fitting recesses are provided are not particularly limited, and may be provided on the inner main body or the flange portion, for example.

[0011] According to this invention, by fitting the fitting protrusion and the fitting recess, it is possible to prevent misalignment in the insertion direction of the electric wire or in the radial direction corresponding to the radial direction viewed from the insertion direction. Therefore, the grommet inner can be properly attached to the grommet body, and the grommet can be properly fixed to the panel. In addition, the locking fixing portion can be disposed at an appropriate position, and adjacent separators can be reliably fixed to each other.

[0012] Also, The separation body is integrally formed by an inner separation part constituting the inner main body and a flange separation part constituting the flange part, and the locking and fixing part is composed of a locking and fixing piece provided on one side of the adjacent inner separation part and a locked part provided on the other side of the adjacent inner separation part to which the locking and fixing piece is locked. It is composed.

[0013] According to this, The mating projection and mating recess prevent the inner separation parts from shifting from each other, so that the locking piece can be reliably locked to the locked part. Therefore, when the flange part is attached to the grommet body, the locking part does not interfere with the attachment, and the inner body can be positioned at the desired position relative to the grommet body. Therefore, the grommet can be reliably fixed to the panel.

[0014] Furthermore, The fitting protrusion includes an inner protrusion protruding from one circumferential end side of the inner separation part toward the adjacent inner separation part, and the fitting recess includes an inner recess provided on the other end side of the adjacent inner separation part. It is prepared.

[0015] According to this,By fitting the inner convex portion and the inner concave portion, which are also provided on the inner separated portion as the locking fixing piece and the locked portion, it is possible to more reliably prevent the inner separated portions from shifting in position relative to the insertion direction in which the electric wire is inserted. Therefore, the flange portion can be reliably attached to the grommet body without the flange separated portions being shifted in position relative to the insertion direction. Furthermore, by preventing the inner separated portions from shifting in position relative to the insertion direction, it is possible to more reliably lock and fix the locking fixing piece and the locked portion.

[0016] Also, The direction in which the electric wire is inserted is defined as an insertion direction, the locking and fixing piece is configured as a flat plate protruding from one end side of the inner separation part in the circumferential direction toward the adjacent inner separation part, the locked part is configured as an inserted part into which the locking and fixing piece is inserted, and the inner protrusion has a length in the insertion direction that is longer than that of the locking and fixing piece. short.

[0017] According to this, The tolerance of the inner recess relative to the inner protrusion can be made smaller than the tolerance of the locked portion relative to the locking piece. Therefore, by fitting the inner protrusion into the inner recess, it is possible to more reliably prevent misalignment in the insertion direction.

[0018] As another aspect of the present invention, the locking and fixing portion may be arranged on the radially outer side of the inner body, and the inner recess may be formed by recessing the radially inner side of the inner body at a position corresponding to the locking and fixing portion.

[0019] According to this invention, the mating protrusions do not interfere with the electric wires, and it is possible to prevent the inner separated parts from shifting in position relative to each other. Also, by arranging the mating protrusions and mating recesses in positions corresponding to the mating fastening parts when the mating fastening pieces are inserted into the receiving part, it is possible to insert the mating fastening pieces into the desired positions in the receiving part while reliably preventing the separated parts from shifting in position relative to each other, and to reliably fix the separated parts to each other.

[0020] In another aspect of the present invention, the mating convex portion may be a flange convex portion protruding circumferentially from one circumferential end side of the flange separation portion along the circumferential direction of the inner body, and the mating recess may be a flange recess provided on the other end side of the adjacent flange separation portion.

[0021] According to this invention, by fitting the flange convex portion and the flange concave portion together, it is possible to prevent the flange separation portion from being displaced in the radial direction, so that the flange portion can be reliably attached to the grommet body. Also, by providing the flange convex portion and the flange concave portion on the flange separation portion, it is possible to prevent the inner separation portion from being displaced in the radial direction without reducing the rigidity of the inner body.

[0022] As a further aspect of the present invention, the flange protrusion may be provided at a radially inner end of the flange separation portion. According to this invention, the flange protrusion is restricted both radially inward and outward by the flange recess, so that the flange separation portion and the inner separation portion can be reliably prevented from being misaligned in the radial direction.

[0023] In another aspect of the present invention, a locking and fixing piece may be provided on one circumferential side of the inner separation portion, and a pivot portion pivotally connected to another of the inner separation portions may be provided on the other circumferential side of the inner separation portion.

[0024] The pivot portion may be configured to integrally connect the inner separation portions together, or may be configured to be pivotable by combining parts provided on the inner separation portions together. In other words, the inner separation portions may be configured as one unit or as separate parts via the pivot portion.

[0025] When there are three or more inner separate parts, there may be one or more pivot parts. For example, when the inner body is composed of three inner separate parts, two of the inner separate parts may be fixed to each other by a fixing part, and the remaining inner separate part and the two inner separate parts fixed to each other by the fixing parts may be connected to each other by a pivot part.

[0026] According to this invention, because one end side is connected by the pivot part, simply by pivoting the inner separated part via the pivot part, the fitting convex part can be fitted into the fitting concave part, and the locking and fixing piece on the other end can be locked to the locked part to fix the inner separated parts together. This makes it possible to easily and reliably lock the locking and fixing piece to the locked part correctly, fix the separated parts together, and prevent the separated parts from shifting from one another. Also, the inner main body can be easily assembled to the electric wire.

[0027] In another aspect of the present invention, the inner body may be formed by integrating the two inner separation parts via the pivot part, the pivot part being provided on an arc portion that is circular or rectangular with rounded corners when viewed from the insertion direction of the electric wire, and the mating convex part and the mating concave part may be provided at a position opposite to the pivot part. The above-mentioned circular shape or rounded rectangular shape includes a perfect circle or ellipse, as well as an egg-shaped oval shape, or a track shape made up of an arc portion and a long side portion.

[0028] According to this invention, since the mating protrusion protrudes in the circumferential direction of the inner body at the arc portion facing the pivot portion, the mating protrusion and the mating recess can be easily and reliably mated with each other via the pivot portion, and therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the inner separation parts from being misaligned with each other. Effect of the Invention

[0029] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a grommet inner that can be easily and reliably fixed, and a grommet equipped with the grommet inner. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0037] 1 is defined as a height direction H, a direction perpendicular to the height direction H and in which cylindrical portion 11 constituting grommet body 10 extends is defined as a longitudinal direction L, and a direction perpendicular to the height direction H and the longitudinal direction L is defined as a width direction W. In addition, in FIG. 1, the upper side along the height direction H is defined as the upper side Hu, the lower side is defined as the lower side Hd, the left side along the longitudinal direction L is defined as the rear side Lb, the right side is defined as the front side Lf, and the right side along the width direction W is defined as the right side Wr, and the right side is defined as the left side Wl.

[0038] For example, in an automobile having a body panel P that forms an opening (not shown, hereinafter referred to as "rear opening") at the rear of the vehicle body, and a back door panel (not shown) that is attached to the body panel P via a hinge to close the rear opening so as to be freely opened and closed, the grommet 1 is attached so as to bridge the body panel P and the back door panel. An electric wire WH that connects electrical devices (not shown) that are arranged separated by the body panel P and the back door panel is inserted inside.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the grommet 1 is composed of a cylindrical grommet body 10 through which an electric wire WH is inserted, and a grommet inner 20 that is attached to the end of the grommet body 10 and fixed to the through hole.

[0040] The grommet main body 10 is a hollow cylindrical body made of flexible resin, and as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is composed of a cylindrical portion 11 formed of a long cylinder, a body side mounting portion 12 provided at one end side (front Lf) of the cylindrical portion 11, and a tailgate side mounting portion 13 provided at the other end side (rear Lb) of the cylindrical portion 11.

[0041] The cylindrical portion 11 is a columnar body formed with a hollow cross section, and electric wires WH that electrically connect electrical devices to each other can be inserted into the internal space. The central portion of the cylindrical portion 11 is configured in an accordion shape, and the back door panel can be curved relative to the body panel P in response to opening and closing.

[0042] The body side mounting part 12 is a hollow tubular body connected to one end side (front Lf) of the cylindrical part 11, and is attached to the body panel P. A tape fixing part 121 for fixing the electric wire WH with tape extends from the body side mounting part 12 along the height direction H. The body side mounting part 12 is configured so that an inner grommet 20 can be attached thereto.

[0043] The back door side mounting portion 13 is a hollow cylindrical body connected to the other end side (rear Lb) of the cylindrical portion 11, and is attached to the back door panel. The back door side mounting portion 13 is configured so that a separate grommet inner (not shown) different from the grommet inner 20 can be attached thereto.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 3, the grommet inner 20 that can be attached to the body side mounting portion 12 is configured with a cylindrical inner body 21 that is inserted into the through hole P1 and through which the electric wire WH passes, and a flange portion 22 that is disposed on the lower end side of the inner body 21 and extends radially outward. In addition, an inner locking portion 23 is provided at a predetermined position on the outer circumferential surface of the inner body 21.

[0045] Here, the radial direction refers to the direction radially extending from the central axis of the cylindrical inner body 21, which is configured in an oval shape when viewed in a plane, the radially outer side refers to the direction extending from the central axis of the inner body 21 toward the outside along the radial direction, and the radially inner side refers to the direction extending toward the central axis of the inner body 21 along the radial direction.

[0046] As shown in Figures 3 and 4(a), the inner body 21 is an approximately cylindrical body configured in an elliptical (track-shaped) shape when viewed in a plane, and is composed of long axis portions 211, 211 formed in a straight line when viewed in a plane, and a front arc portion 212 and a rear arc portion 213 formed in a semicircular shape when viewed in a plane, whose ends connect both ends of the long axis portions 211, 211.

[0047] The inner body 21 is configured in an elliptical shape with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the through-hole P1 provided in the body panel P, and as shown in Fig. 4(b), the rear arc portion 213 is configured to be slightly higher than the long shaft portions 211, 211 and the front arc portion 212. The upper end portion of the inner body 21 is configured such that the outer circumferential surface is slightly inclined radially inward as it extends upward.

[0048] The central portions of the long shaft portions 211, 211, the front arc portion 212 and the rear arc portion 213 are recessed radially inward, and from this recessed portion, an inner locking portion 23 protrudes radially outward, which clamps the body panel P together with the body side mounting portion 12 to which the flange portion 22 is assembled, and fixes the grommet 1 to the body panel P.

[0049] As shown in Figures 3, 4(a) to 4(c), the inner locking portion 23 is integrally formed with a first support portion 231 extending radially outward from the central portion of the long shaft portion 211, 211 recessed radially inward or the front arc portion 212 or the rear arc portion 213, a first elastic deformation portion 232 connected to the radially outer side of the first support portion 231, and a first locking claw portion 233 extending downward from the first elastic deformation portion 232.

[0050] The first support portion 231 is a plate-like body that protrudes radially outward from the upper end portions of the long shaft portion 211 and the front arc portion 212. Note that since the rear arc portion 213 protrudes upward compared to the front arc portion 212, the first support portion 231 corresponding to the rear arc portion 213 protrudes radially outward from a position Hd slightly below the upper end of the rear arc portion 213.

[0051] The first elastic deformation portion 232 extends downward Hd from the tip (the radially outer end portion) of the first support portion 231. The first locking claw portion 233 has an outer surface that widens radially outward as it extends downward Hd from the tip of the first elastic deformation portion 232, and an inner surface that widens radially outward as it extends downward Hd. The lower surface of the first locking claw portion 233 is formed in a tapered shape that slopes radially inward as it extends downward Hd.

[0052] In the inner locking portion 23 configured in this manner, the first support portion 231 protrudes radially outward, and the first elastic deformation portion 232 and the first locking claw portion 233 extend downward Hd from the tip of the first support portion 231. A space is formed between the inner locking portion 23 (first locking claw portion 233) and the long shaft portions 211, 211 or the front arc portion 212 and the rear arc portion 213, allowing the first locking claw portion 233 to move radially inward. The outer surface of the first locking claw portion 233 is configured to protrude slightly from the outer circumferential surface of the inner main body 21.

[0053] The flange portion 22 is a flat plate having an elliptical shape in a plan view, which extends radially outward from the lower end of the inner main body 21. A cutout portion 221 is provided in a part of the flange portion 22, which is cut radially inward so as to engage with the body side mounting portion 12 when the grommet inner 20 is attached to the body side mounting portion 12. In addition, an insertion hole is provided along the height direction H at a location corresponding to the inner locking portion 23.

[0054] The grommet inner 20 thus configured is composed of a first separated body 30 and a second separated body 40 that are partially separated in the circumferential direction. The first separated body 30 and the second separated body 40 are connected at the front Lf via a hinge portion 24, and are configured so as to be locked and fixed in the circumferential direction by a locking and fixing portion 25 provided on the opposite side of the hinge portion 24.

[0055] As shown in Figure 5, the first separation body 30 is composed of a first inner separation portion 31 which is a cylindrical body having a semi-elliptical shape in a planar view and which stands upright along the height direction H, and a first flange separation portion 32 which extends radially outward from the lower end of the first inner separation portion 31.

[0056] The first inner separation part 31 formed in a semi-elliptical shape in a plan view corresponds to the long shaft part 211 on the left side Wl of the inner main body 21, a part of the left side Wl of the front arc part 212, and a part of the left side Wl of the rear arc part 213. In detail, the arc part formed at the end part of the front Lf of the first inner separation part 31 corresponds to the front arc part 212 extending from the long shaft part 211 on the left side Wl by about one-fourth of the arc length. In other words, the end part of the front Lf of the first inner separation part 31 is an intermediate part between the inner locking part 23 provided on the front Lf and the end part of the front Lf of the long shaft part 211 on the left Wl.

[0057] On the other hand, the arc portion corresponding to the end of the rear Lb of the first inner separation part 31 corresponds to the rear arc portion 213 extending from the long shaft part 211 on the left Wl by approximately three-quarters of the arc length. In other words, the end of the front Lf of the first inner separation part 31 is an intermediate part between the inner locking part 23 provided on the rear Lb and the end of the long shaft part 211 on the right Wr on the rear Lb.

[0058] A hinge portion 24 is provided along the height direction H on the radially outer side of the front Lf end of the first inner separation portion 31 formed in this semi-elliptical shape, and a locking portion 33 constituting the locking fixing portion 25 extends along the tangent direction of the rear arc portion 213 at the rear Lb end of the first inner separation portion 31.

[0059] The hinge portion 24 provided on the left side Wl of the front arc portion 212 of the front Lf integrally connects the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 described later, configuring the second separation body 40 to be freely pivotable relative to the first separation body 30.

[0060] The locking portion 33 is disposed radially outward of the first inner separation portion 31. More specifically, the locking portion 33 is composed of a flat fixing piece 331 protruding from an end portion on the right side Wr of the first inner separation portion 31, and a locking protrusion 332 protruding radially outward from a tip of the fixing piece 331. The fixing piece 331 protrudes from the radial center of the first inner separation part 31 in the tangential direction of the rear arc part 213 at the end part on the right side Wr of the first inner separation part 31, and is composed of a flat plate part 331a formed in a substantially rectangular shape at the base end side, and a tapered part 331b having a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape tapering from the tip of the flat plate part 331a toward the protruding direction. The lower end of the flat plate part 331a is located at a position corresponding to the upper end of the first flange separation part 32, and the upper end of the flat plate part 331a is located slightly below the first support part 231 at Hd.

[0061] The flat plate portion 331a thus configured is provided with insertion-side deformation portions 34 that stand in the height direction H from both ends in the height direction H (see FIG. 6(a)). More specifically, the insertion-side deformation portions 34 are configured to have a generally triangular cross section that tapers as they protrude in the height direction H when viewed from the protruding direction of the fixed piece 331.

[0062] The locking protrusion 332 protrudes outward in the normal direction of the fixed piece 331 at the center of the tapered portion 331b in the height direction H. Specifically, the locking protrusion 332 is configured in a generally right-angled triangular shape in a plan view, protruding outward in the normal direction of the fixed piece 331 as it moves from the tip of the tapered portion 331b toward the flat plate portion 331a. The length of the locking protrusion 332 in the height direction H is approximately half the length of the tip of the tapered portion 331b in the height direction H.

[0063] Further, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped inner fitting protrusion 35 is provided on the base end side of the flat plate portion 331a, protruding inward in the normal direction, i.e., protruding toward the adjacent second separator 40. The length of the inner fitting protrusion 35 in the height direction H is formed to be shorter than the length of the flat plate portion 331a in the height direction H. More specifically, the length of the inner fitting protrusion 35 in the height direction H is approximately half the length of the tip portion of the tapered portion 331b in the height direction H. The length of the inner fitting protrusion 35 in the extension direction of the locking portion 33 is approximately half the length of the flat plate portion 331a in the extension direction of the locking portion 33.

[0064] The first flange separation portion 32 extends radially outward from the lower end of the first inner separation portion 31, and a notch is provided at a location corresponding to the hinge portion 24 to allow the second separation body 40 to pivot relative to the first separation body 30. In addition, a flange protrusion 36 having the same plate thickness as the first flange separation portion 32 and extending along the locking portion 33 from the radially inner end of the first flange separation portion 32 is provided at a position corresponding to the locking portion 33 in the first flange separation portion 32. The flange protrusion 36 has a width that is approximately half the width of the first flange separation portion 32 in the radial direction, and a length that is approximately equal to the length of the inner fitting protrusion 35 in the extension direction of the locking portion 33.

[0065] As shown in Figure 5, the second separation body 40 is composed of a second inner separation portion 41 which is a cylindrical body having a semi-elliptical shape in a planar view and stands upright along the height direction H, and a second flange separation portion 42 which extends radially outward from the lower end of the second inner separation portion 41.

[0066] The second inner separation part 41 formed in a semi-elliptical shape in a plan view corresponds to the long shaft part 211 on the right side Wr of the inner main body 21, a part of the front Lf of the front arc part 212, and a part of the rear Lb of the rear arc part 213. In detail, the arc part formed at the end part of the rear Lb of the second inner separation part 41 corresponds to the rear arc part 213 extending from the long shaft part 211 on the right side Wr by about a quarter of the arc length. In other words, the end part of the rear Lb of the second inner separation part 41 is an intermediate part between the inner locking part 23 provided on the rear Lb and the end part of the long shaft part 211 on the right side Wr at the rear Lb.

[0067] On the other hand, the arc portion corresponding to the end of the front Lf of the second inner separation part 41 corresponds to the front arc portion 212 extending from the long shaft part 211 on the right Wr by approximately three-quarters of the arc length. In other words, the end of the front Lf of the second inner separation part 41 is an intermediate part between the inner locking part 23 provided on the front Lf and the end of the front Lf of the long shaft part 211 on the left Wl.

[0068] A hinge portion 24 is provided along the height direction H on the radially outer side of the front Lf end of the second inner separation part 41 configured in this manner. In addition, a locked portion 43 to which the locking portion 33 is locked is provided at the rear Lb end of the second inner separation part 41 adjacent to the first inner separation part 31. The locked portion 43 constitutes the locking fixing part 25 together with the locking part 33.

[0069] As shown in Figure 6 (b), the engaged portion 43 is a hollow frame body configured to allow the engaging portion 33 to be inserted therethrough, and is composed of shaft portions 431, 431 that stand radially outward from the second inner separation portion 41, an outer bridging portion 432 that connects the radially outer ends of the shaft portions 431, 431, and an inner bridging portion 433 that connects the radially inner ends of the shaft portions 431, 431, and an insertion space S is formed into which the engaging portion 33 can be inserted.

[0070] The shafts 431, 431 are erected radially outward from positions corresponding to the upper end of the rear arcuate portion 213 and the lower end of the second inner separation portion 41. The distance between the shafts 431, 431 is longer than the length of the flat plate portion 331a in the height direction H and shorter than the distance between the tip of the insertion-side deformation portion 34 on the upper Hu and the tip of the insertion-side deformation portion 34 on the lower Hd. In other words, when the locking portion 33 is inserted into the locked portion 43, the insertion-side deformation portion 34 is configured to interfere with the shafts 431, 431. The length of the locked portion 43 in the tangential direction of the second inner separation portion 41 is slightly shorter than the flat plate portion 331a.

[0071] Further, the inner bridge portion 433 constituting the radially inner side of the locked portion 43 is provided with an inner fitting recess 44 formed by recessing the central portion of the base end side of the shaft portions 431, 431 toward the tangent direction of the rear arc portion 213. The length of the inner fitting recess 44 in the height direction H is configured to be substantially the same as the length of the height direction H of the insertion-side deformation portion 34, and the inner fitting protrusion 35 is configured to fit into the inner fitting recess 44 by inserting the locking portion 33 into the insertion space S.

[0072] In addition, the length of the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the inner fitting recess 44 in the height direction H is shorter than the length of the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43 in the height direction H, and the tolerance of the insertion side deformation portion 34 relative to the inner fitting recess 44 is smaller than the tolerance of the locking portion 33 relative to the locked portion 43.

[0073] The second flange separation portion 42 extends radially outward from the lower end of the second inner separation portion 41, and a notch is provided at a location corresponding to the hinge portion 24 to allow the second separation body 40 to pivot relative to the first separation body 30. In addition, a flange recess 45 is provided at a position corresponding to the locked portion 43 in the second flange separation portion 42, recessed from the radial inner end of the second flange separation portion 42 along the tangential direction of the second flange separation portion 42.

[0074] The flange recess 45 has a width that is approximately half the width of the second flange separation portion 42 in the radial direction, and a length that is approximately equal to the length in the extension direction of the flange protrusion 36. In addition, a portion of the radial outer side of the flange recess 45 is cut out.

[0075] Next, a method for pivoting the second separated body 40 thus configured relative to the first separated body 30 about the hinge portion 24 as a pivot axis, and for locking and fixing the first separated body 30 and the second separated body 40 together, will be briefly described. First, the grommet inner 20 with the first separator 30 and the second separator 40 open is placed at a predetermined position on the electric wire WH that has been inserted into the grommet body 10 and fixed with tape to the tape fixing portion 121 (see FIG. 7(a)).

[0076] Then, by pivoting the second separation body 40 relative to the first separation body 30 with the hinge portion 24 as a pivot axis, the tip of the locking portion 33 is inserted into the insertion space S formed in the locked portion 43 (see FIG. 7(b)). At this time, since the locking portion 33 protrudes in the tangential direction of the rear arc portion 213 and the tapered portion 331b is configured in a tapered shape, the locking portion 33 is guided into the insertion space S simply by pivoting the second separation body 40 relative to the first separation body 30.

[0077] Furthermore, by pivoting the second separator 40 relative to the first separator 30, the flat portion 331a is inserted into the insertion space S, and the insertion-side deformation portions 34, 34 come into contact with the inner surfaces of the shaft portions 431, 431, which are the opposing portions, and are pressed and deformed. Also, the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the flange convex portion 36 are fitted into the inner fitting recess 44 and the flange recess 45 (see FIGS. 8(a) and (b)).

[0078] Here, since the tolerance of the insertion-side deformation portion 34 relative to the inner fitting recess 44 is smaller than the tolerance of the locking portion 33 relative to the locked portion 43, the inner fitting protrusion 35 fits into the inner fitting recess 44, and the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 are disposed at predetermined positions in the height direction H. Therefore, the locking portion 33 is disposed in the center of the locked portion 43, and the insertion-side deformation portion 34 on the upper Hu and the insertion-side deformation portion 34 on the lower Hd are uniformly in contact with the inner surface of the shaft portions 431, 431. Therefore, the insertion-side deformation portions 34, 34 are uniformly pressed and deformed by the shaft portions 431, 431, and rattling in the height direction H between the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43 can be prevented (see Figs. 9(a) and 9(b)). Furthermore, by fitting the inner fitting protrusion 35 into the inner fitting recess 44, misalignment between the first separator 30 and the second separator 40 in the height direction H can be prevented.

[0079] Furthermore, in the process of inserting the locking portion 33 into the locked portion 43, the flange convex portion 36 fits into the flange concave portion 45, so that it is possible to prevent the first separated body 30 and the second separated body 40 from being misaligned in the radial direction, and the flange convex portion 36 fitted into the flange concave portion 45 and the inner fitting convex portion 35 fitted into the inner fitting concave portion 44 allow the locking portion 33 to be disposed at a desired position relative to the locked portion 43. This not only prevents the first separated body 30 and the second separated body 40 from being misaligned in the height direction H and the radial direction, but also ensures that the locking convex portion 332 is securely locked to the center portion of the outer bridge portion 432, so that the locking portion 33 can be securely locked and fixed to the locked portion 43.

[0080] Furthermore, by preventing misalignment of the second separator 40 in the height direction H and the radial direction relative to the first separator 30, the first separator 30 and the second separator 40 are disposed at desired positions in the height direction H and the radial direction, so that the strength of the grommet inner 20 is not reduced and the grommet inner 20 can be attached to the desired position of the body side attachment portion 12. This allows the grommet 1 to be reliably fixed to the body panel P.

[0081] In this manner, the grommet inner 20, together with the cylindrical grommet body 10, constitutes the grommet 1 that protects the electric wire WH that passes through the through hole P1 provided in the body panel P. The grommet inner 20 is inserted into the through hole P1 and is composed of a cylindrical inner body 21 through which the electric wire WH passes, and a flange portion 22 that is disposed on one end side of the inner body 21 and extends radially outward, and is attached to an end of the grommet body 10 and fixed to the through hole P1. The grommet inner 20 is composed of a first separation body 30 and a second separation body 40 that are separated in the circumferential direction, and includes a locking and fixing portion 25 that locks and fixes the adjacent first separation body 30 and second separation body 40, an inner fitting convex portion 35 and a flange convex portion 36 that are provided on the first separation body 30 of the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 that are adjacent in the circumferential direction and protrude toward the other, and an inner fitting recess 44 and a flange recess 45 that are provided on the second separation body 40 and are concave and into which the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the flange convex portion 36 are fitted. The engagement of the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the flange convex portion 36 with the inner fitting recess 44 and the flange recess 45 prevents the locked and fixed first separation body 30 and second separation body 40 from being misaligned with each other.

[0082] When the grommet inner 20 configured in this manner is to lock and fix the adjacent first separation body 30 and second separation body 40, the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the flange convex portion 36 are fitted into the inner fitting concave portion 44 and the flange concave portion 45, thereby preventing misalignment in the height direction H in which the electric wire WH is inserted, or in the radial direction corresponding to the radial direction as viewed from the height direction H. This allows the grommet inner 20 to be properly attached to the grommet body 10, and the grommet 1 to be properly fixed to the body panel P. In addition, the locking and fixing portion 25 can be disposed in an appropriate position, and the adjacent first separation body 30 and second separation body 40 can be reliably fixed to each other.

[0083] In addition, the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 are integrally formed with the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41 that constitute the inner main body 21, and the first flange separation portion 32 and the second flange separation portion 42 that constitute the flange portion 22, and the locking fixing portion 25 is composed of a locking portion 33 provided on one side of the adjacent first inner separation portion 31 and second inner separation portion 41, and a locked portion 43 provided on the other side of the adjacent first inner separation portion 31 and second inner separation portion 41 to which the locking portion 33 is locked.

[0084] As a result, the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the flange convex portion 36, and the inner fitting recessed portion 44 and the flange recessed portion 45 can prevent the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41 from being misaligned with each other, and the locking portion 33 can be reliably locked and fixed to the locked portion 43. Therefore, when the flange portion 22 is attached to the grommet body 10, the locking fixing portion 25 does not interfere with the attachment, and the inner body 21 can be positioned at a desired position with respect to the grommet body 10. Therefore, the grommet 1 can be reliably fixed to the through hole P1.

[0085] In addition, the inner fitting convex portion 35 is configured to protrude from one circumferential end side of the first inner separation portion 31 toward the adjacent second inner separation portion 41, and the inner fitting recess 44 is provided on the other end side of the second inner separation portion 41.

[0086] As a result, by engaging the inner fitting convex portion 35 and the inner fitting concave portion 44 provided on the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41 as well as the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43, it is possible to more reliably prevent the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43 from shifting in position in the height direction H in which the electric wire WH is inserted. Therefore, the flange portion 22 can be reliably attached to the grommet body 10 without the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 being shifted in position in the height direction H. Furthermore, by preventing the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43 from shifting in position in the height direction H, it is possible to more reliably lock and fix the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43.

[0087] Furthermore, the direction in which the electric wire WH is inserted is the height direction H, and the locking portion 33 is configured in a flat plate shape protruding from one circumferential end side of the first inner separation portion 31 toward the adjacent second inner separation portion 41, the locked portion 43 is configured so that the locking portion 33 can be inserted, and the inner fitting convex portion 35 has a shorter length in the height direction H than the locking portion 33.

[0088] This makes it possible to make the tolerance of the inner fitting recess 44 relative to the inner fitting protrusion 35 smaller than the tolerance of the locked portion 43 relative to the locking portion 33. Therefore, by fitting the inner fitting protrusion 35 into the inner fitting recess 44, it is possible to more reliably prevent positional deviation in the height direction H.

[0089] Moreover, the locking and fixing portion 25 is disposed on the radially outer side of the inner body 21, and the inner fitting recess 44 is formed by recessing the radially inner side of the inner body 21 at a position corresponding to the locking and fixing portion 25. This prevents the inner fitting protrusion 35 from interfering with the electric wire WH, and prevents the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41 from being displaced. Moreover, by disposing the inner fitting protrusion 35 and the inner fitting recess 44 at a position corresponding to the locking and fixing portion 25 in an inserted state in which the locking portion 33 is inserted into the locked portion 43, the locking portion 33 can be inserted into a desired position in the locked portion 43 to reliably fix the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 while reliably preventing the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 from being displaced.

[0090] In addition, the flange convex portion 36 is configured to protrude along the circumferential direction of the inner body 21 from one circumferential end side of the first flange separation portion 32, and the flange concave portion 45 is provided on the other end side of the second flange separation portion 42 adjacent to the first flange separation portion 32.

[0091] Therefore, by fitting the flange protrusion 36 and the flange recess 45, it is possible to prevent radial positional deviation between the first flange separation portion 32 and the second flange separation portion 42, and the flange portion 22 can be reliably attached to the grommet body 10. Furthermore, by providing the flange protrusion 36 and the flange recess 45 on the first flange separation portion 32 and the second flange separation portion 42, it is possible to prevent radial positional deviation of the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41 without reducing the rigidity of the inner body 21.

[0092] Furthermore, since the flange protrusion 36 is provided at the radially inner end of the first flange separation portion 32, the flange protrusion 36 is restricted both radially inward and outward by the flange recess 45, thereby reliably preventing radial misalignment between the first flange separation portion 32 and the second flange separation portion 42 and the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41.

[0093] In addition, a locking portion 33 is provided on one circumferential side of the first inner separation portion 31, and a hinge portion 24 pivotally connected to the second inner separation portion 41 is provided on the other circumferential side of the first inner separation portion 31.

[0094] According to this, since the first inner separation part 31 and the second inner separation part 41 are connected at one end side by the hinge part 24, the inner fitting convex part 35 and the flange convex part 36 can be fitted into the inner fitting recessed part 44 and the flange recessed part 45 simply by pivoting the first inner separation part 31 and the second inner separation part 41 via the hinge part 24. Also, the first inner separation part 31 and the second inner separation part 41 can be fixed to each other simply by inserting the locking part 33 provided on the side opposite to the side where the hinge part 24 is provided into the locked part 43. This makes it possible to easily and reliably insert the locking part 33 correctly into the locked part 43 to fix the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40, and to prevent the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 from being displaced. Also, the inner main body 21 can be easily assembled to the electric wire WH.

[0095] In addition, the inner body 21 is integrally formed with two first inner separation parts 31 and a second inner separation part 41 via a hinge part 24, and the hinge part 24 is provided in an arc part configured in a rounded rectangular shape when viewed from the height direction H through which the electric wire WH is inserted, and the inner fitting convex part 35 and the flange convex part 36, the inner fitting recess 44 and the flange recess 45 are provided in a position opposite to the hinge part 24.

[0096] As a result, the inner fitting protrusion 35 and the flange protrusion 36 protrude in the circumferential direction of the inner body 21 at the arc portion facing the hinge portion 24, so that the inner fitting protrusion 35 and the flange protrusion 36 can be easily and reliably fitted into the inner fitting recess 44 and the flange recess 45 via the hinge portion 24. Therefore, displacement of the first separated body 30 and the second separated body 40 can be reliably prevented.

[0097] In the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, the panel corresponds to the body panel P, and similarly The through hole corresponds to the through hole P1, Wire WH corresponds to wire WH, The grommet corresponds to grommet 1, The grommet body corresponds to the grommet body 10, The inner body corresponds to the inner body 21, The flange portion corresponds to the flange portion 22, The grommet inner is compatible with the grommet inner 20. The separators correspond to a first separator 30 and a second separator 40, The locking and fastening portion corresponds to the locking and fastening portion 25, The fitting protrusions correspond to the inner fitting protrusions 35 and the flange protrusions 36, The fitting recess corresponds to the inner fitting recess 44 and the flange recess 45. The inner separation portion corresponds to the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41, The flange separation portion corresponds to the first flange separation portion 32 and the second flange separation portion 42, The locking piece corresponds to the locking portion 33. The locked portion corresponds to the locked portion 43, The inner protrusion corresponds to the inner fitting protrusion 35, The inner recess corresponds to the inner fitting recess 44, The insertion direction corresponds to the height direction H, The inserted portion corresponds to the locked portion 43, The flange protrusion corresponds to the flange protrusion 36, The flange recess corresponds to the flange recess 45, The locking piece corresponds to the locking portion 33. The pivot portion corresponds to the hinge portion 24, The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0098] For example, in this embodiment, the grommet inner 20 is composed of a first separation body 30 and a second separation body 40 formed integrally via a hinge portion 24, but for example, a fixable structure such as a locking fixing portion 25 may be provided instead of the hinge portion 24, thereby enabling the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 to be completely separated, or an assembly member may be provided at the ends of the separable first separation body 30 and second separation body 40 instead of the hinge portion 24, allowing the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 to pivot.

[0099] In the present embodiment, the grommet inner 20 is separated into two parts, the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40, but is not limited to two parts and may be separated into three or more parts. In this case, a plurality of hinge portions 24 may be provided.

[0100] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the locking portion 33 is inserted into the insertion space S, the locking protrusion 332 is engaged with the outer bridge portion 432, thereby locking the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43 together; however, this configuration is not necessary as long as the first separation body 30 and the second separation body 40 can be fixed together.

[0101] In addition, in this embodiment, the insertion side deformation portion 34 is provided at both ends in the height direction H of the flat plate portion 331a, but it may be provided, for example, only on one of the upper Hu or lower Hd sides of the flat plate portion 331a, or it may be erected along the insertion space S from the inner wall of the shaft portion 431 instead of on the flat plate portion 331a.

[0102] Furthermore, instead of the insertion-side deformation portion 34, a radial side deformation portion 37 may be provided that stands radially outward from the radial direction (radial outer side) of the flat plate portion 331a (see FIG. 10(a)). This radial side deformation portion 37 stands from the radially outer surface of the flat plate portion 331a along the normal direction of the flat plate portion 331a, and when the locking portion 33 is inserted into the insertion space S, it comes into contact with the outer bridge portion 432 and is pressed and deformed (see FIG. 10(b)). This makes it possible to prevent rattling between the first separated body 30 and the second separated body 40 in the radial direction. The radially inward deformation portion 37 may be erected from the inner surface of the outer bridge portion 432 radially inward, and a configuration may be provided in which both the insertion-side deformation portion 34 and the radially inward deformation portion 37 are provided.

[0103] Furthermore, by providing the flange convex portion 36 and the flange concave portion 45, even if the radial deformation portion 37 is pressed and deformed, radial positional deviation between the first inner separation portion 31 and the second inner separation portion 41 can be reliably prevented, so that the grommet inner 20 can be reliably attached to the body side mounting portion 12.

[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the grommet inner 20 is configured to have a rounded rectangular shape in a plan view, but it may be configured to have a circular shape such as a perfect circle, an ellipse, or an egg-shaped oval.

[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the locking portion 33 may be provided on the second inner separation portion 41, and the locked portion 43 may be provided on the first inner separation portion 31, or the locking portion 33 and the locked portion 43 may be provided at other locations on the rear arc portion 213, or at locations other than the rear arc portion 213.
